Add intuitive, hands-on control to your DAW, plug-ins, and hardware with 16 endless rotary encoders, eight assignable buttons, and a crisp OLED display that keeps essential information clearly visible. Launch Control 3 is compact, powerful, and flexible enough for any studio or stage setup with USB-C; 5-pin MIDI In, Out, and Out2/Thru; and easily configurable Custom Modes via Novation Components.

Hands-on control for studio and stage

Add tactile control to any software, hardware, or hybrid workflow. The compact, portable Launch Control 3 works seamlessly with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, and more — with Mackie HUI support for everything else. It’s easy to map custom controls to all your plugins and MIDI-enabled hardware too.

Control any setup

Go deep with a single device or get high-level control over your entire setup; Launch Control 3’s tight, intuitive DAW integration and flexible Custom Modes make it a compact-yet-powerful addition to any setup.

Think outside the box

Launch Control 3 is designed to work with or without a computer connected: simply power via USB-C, then connect directly to your hardware instruments and effects via 5-pin MIDI In, Out, and Out2/Thru ports. For hybrid setups, combine your external gear, DAW controls, and essential plugin parameters with Custom Modes.

Streamline your workflow

Use Novation Components to create and customise MIDI mappings and store a total of seven user-defined Custom Modes. Launch Control 3 is the ideal companion for your MIDI-enabled hardware, providing extra hands-on control for synths and effects units — even unlocking hidden, menu-based features.

Premium, hardware feel

Redesigned from the ground up, the latest Launch Control 3 now features 16 smooth endless rotary encoders and eight customisable buttons in a compact, robust chassis. The crisp OLED display shows you real-time information, right where you need it.
